example:
<button id='testButton'>Test</button>
<script>
$(function(){
$('#testButton').on('click' , function(){
alert("I've been clicked!");
});
//now on another event, in this case window resize, you could trigger
//the behaviour of clicking the testButton?
$( window ).resize(function() {
$('#testButton').trigger( "click" );
});
});
</script>
